2 of my articles do not have a DOI. What exactly do I do then? Do i just cite it as if i read it directly in the journal? or do I have to provide a link to the article? in which case it would look like this at the end of my reference (based on the link supplied by ebscohost):
Retrieved from http://search.ebscohost.com.naomi.fuller.edu:2048/login.aspx?direct=true&db=psyh&AN=2004-16129-004&loginpage=Login.asp&site=ehost-live
that feels like it is too much information, but it links you to the article if you are logged in i believe

please refer to pp. 191-192 of the APA publication manual (6th ed.). It tells you what to do with articles without a DOI, and it addresses the issues of accessing the article by logging in from a private database. Hope this helps!
I'm sorry Grace, but it doesn't help. We've consulted the manual and we cannot understand what it is saying. For those articles w/o a DOI, how are we to cite without it turning into a 3 sentence long url????
So, from the last bullet point on p. 191 and it extends to p. 192... it says that you need to do a quick websearch to locate the url of the article that is w/o an url. I would suggest you to search the title of the article on google scholar (http://scholar.google.com/). In Christie's case, I copied and pasted her url that she posted and retrieved the information of the article. I just searched with the title of the article on google scholar and I got this: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15326540
I think this should work.
Does this help?
so your saying we need to find the article in a different place than ebsco host and it will give us a kinder link. thanksssss
Yes, that helps...thank you!
I was able to pull mine up with entering a lengthy url, but didn't know if we needed/would be docked for not giving the url from the "home page" as it says in the manual.
Make sure the webpage is accessible without a log-in..that would be the main thing that we would worry about. You are giving the url so that others can access the article if they need to.
